Channing Tatum Joins Sandra Bullock In Paramount’s ‘The Lost City Of D’

Recent years have seen Magic Mike star Channing Tatum take a step back from starring roles on the big screen. With a bevy of future projects on the books, the actor adds yet another film to his upcoming slate. As first reported by Deadline, Tatum will star alongside Oscar winner Sandra Bullock in an upcoming romantic comedy from Paramount Pictures.

Per the initial report, the rom-com will be titled The Lost City of D. Described as a Romancing The Stone-style feature, the plot follows a reclusive novelist, played by Bullock. As she embarks on a book tour with her cover model, portrayed by Tatum, the duo fall victim to a kidnapping attempt. The sudden twist of fate takes them on an adventure through a cutthroat jungle, as she sees that life can be far more romantic than anything she can ever write.

Aaron and Adam Nee (Band of Robbers) will direct The Lost City of D with a script by Dana Fox (The Wedding Date). The idea for the film hails from Seth Gordon (Baywatch), who will also serve as one of the movie’s producers. Moreover, Bullock will executive produce via her Fortis Films banner alongside Liza Chasin (Les Misérables).
